1 parsec = 19,173,514,177,205.12 miles

Do you remember the scene in Star Wars when Obi-Wan and Luke are in that bar in Mos Eislee and Han is trying to convince them the Millennium Falcon is fast enough for them? He says, with only slight modesty, "She's done the Kessel-run in just 8 parsecs." Or something like that. Luke and Obi-Wan are visibly impressed and/or sceptical, and ever since I've wondered just what in the hell a parsec was. Well, now I know. Thanks to onlineconversions.com, you can convert feet to meters, pints to hogsheads, and jiggers to drams. Anyone for a peck of beer?
